CounterPunch.org · Mar 15, 2024Claims of Mass Rape by Hamas Unravel Upon InvestigationFollowing Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks that resulted in at least 1,163 deaths, rumors began circulating that Israeli women were experiencing horrific mass rape and sexual violence. Months later, a position paper by Physicians for Human Rights Israel and a New York Times investigation convinced many observers that Hamas used rape as a weapon of war. But an investigation by YES! examining both reports, other media investigations, hundreds of news articles, interviews with Israeli sources, and photo and video evidence reveals a shocking conclusion: There is no evidence mass rape occurred.

@Susan_Larson_TN I have a hard time understanding the purpose if the hair splitting around these reports. the report opens with the implication that there is "no evidence" but then the rest of the article goes on to question the validity of every eye witness account. "Did Hamas cut off two different women's breasts, or was it only one?" As if we're supposed to say, "oh that was only one person, not two different people - not so bad"
